Apache Spark is far better than MapReduce but still learning MapReduce is essential. MapReduce is a paradigm which is even used by Spark as big data tools. When the data is large and grows bigger, in that case, MapReduce is much relevant. Data tools like pig and hive convert their message queries into MapReduce in order to optimize them properly.
